CHARWER OF THE LONDON UNIVERSITY. (Copy.) Whitehall, Dec. 1, 1836. My LORD-I have the honour to transmit to your Lord ship the Charter of the University of London. His Majesty has been pleased to approve of the appoint ment of your Lordship as Chancellor, and of Mr. Lubbock as the first Vice-Chancellor, of the University. I feel confident that it is not necessary to recommend to your Lordship either a zealous attention to the interests of learning, or a constant regard to those principles of religious freedom, which have furnished motives for the Royal grant. I have no less reliance on the distinguished men who are associated with yourself and Mr. Lubbock in the govern ment of the University. You may be assured that on my part also I shall esteem it an honour to co-operate in the advancement of an In stitution destined to confer the distinctions justly due to proficiency in literature, science, or art, without imposing a test of religious opinions, or binding by the fetters of the seventeeth century the talent and merit of the present en lightened age. I have the honour to be, my Lord, Your obedient, humble servant, (Signed) J. RUSSELL. The Earl of Burlington, &c. &c. &C. (Copy.) Compton-place, Dec. 9, 1836.

Lord Milton, who came of age a few weeks since, has returned to Milton Park from Cambridge, where his Lordship took his degree of M.A. last week. THE DUCHESS DE LA VALLIERE.—We observe with pleasure that Mr. Colburn, of Great Marlborough street, has announced for re-publication, on Wednesday nest, the Countess de Genlis's charming romance of the Duchess de la Valliere," which forms the subject of Mr. Bulwer's forthcoming drama. 'The edition, which is in two volumes, will comprise also the equally beautiful story of " Madame de Maintenon," by the same writer, which forms a necessary companion to that of " la Valliere." There is an advertisement in our columns this day, arnouncing a sale by auction of a considerable lot of cattle, which, we understand, have journeyed by land direct from the most Northern part of Scotland. We believe the breed of that remote quarter has long stood high in character with the English grazier. This is the day of no velties, and there is certainly something bold in bringing cattle a journey of about 800 miles to be sold by auction in London. We doubt not that this sale merits the attention of, and will excite an interest among, our graziers, breeders, and farming connoisseurs ; and we anticipate a large at tendance of such, and no small competition for these little Scots Highlanders. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1836. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. PARIS, DEC. 10.—The llioniteztr of this morning con tains nothing but what we knew before. There is no news from Constantina to-day, either in the Paris Journals or those of Marseilles. A letter from Tunis of the 20th Nov., says—" The Turkish Brigantine Deve has just landed at Goletha an officer of the Sultan's Guard, with despatches, which he immediately carried to the Bardo. He has others for the Bey of Contantina, but it is most likely that he will not be permitted to proceed to that place. When this officer landed, the Port Captain told him that in all probability Constantina was in the hands of the French. He replied that this did not affect his mission. The Journal La France says—" La France was again seized yesterday evening. We presume that it was for having quoted the short reflection which the Gazette made on. the seizure of the preceding day ; for we have just learnt that it has likewise been seized." The Gazette de France, in fact, announces that it has been seized twice. The Bayonne and Bordeaux Journals received this morn ing do not dispel the uncertainty respecting Bilboa. The only fact which appears pretty certain, is that the Carlists, presuming that Espartero's attack might be successful, and not being willing to risk the loss of their artillery, began on the 3d to withdraw it—that in consequence the siege was suspended, but the Carlists had not abandoned their posi tions. J t may, however, be presumed, that when once their artillery is safe, they will suffer Espartero to come to Bil boa without much resistance.—Journal die Commerce, Dec. 10.

BOURSE, QUARTER TO FOUR.—The French funds fell to-day, not so much because of the decline of prices in London on Thursday last, as from a desire of the speculators to realize. In Spanish Actives a great deal of business was done. Large purchases in that stock were made by highly respectable houses. It rose at one time to 211, but subsequently fell to 201. (Extracts from the French papers of Friday.) The order sent to the Duchess de St. Leu to follow her son to America has, it is said, been somewhat modified. The intervention of some august protectors has had the ef fect of manifesting the inexpediency b of condemning to a new exile a lady who, in the time of the Consular and Imperial power, employed her influence with her brother on behalf of the Orleans family.: The Royal Court of Colmar delivered on the sth its judgment in the affair of Strasburg. M. Rossee, the At torney-General, laid before the Court the entire of the pre liminary investigation instituted by the committee of the Court. The latter examined upwards of 200 witnesses, and ascertained that a great number of persons, against whom there existed charges, not sufficient, however, to war rant their prosecution, had been implicated in the conspi racy, or had a knowledge thereof. Several officers, some of whom occupy a high rank in the army, have conse quently been dismissed or retreated. All the individuals arrested in virtue of a decree of the Tribunal of Paris have been liberated. Out of the eight persons confined in Stras burg, seven are to be brought to trial. The valet de chambre of Prince Louis was ordered to be set at liberty by the Chamber of Accusation. The Court likewise pro nounced judgment bn the eight contumacious accused, who belong to the 3d Regiment of Artillery and to the corps of Engineers. A true bill has been found against six of them. Prince Louis Napoleon's case was also the subject of the deliberation of the Court, but the discussion was confined to the mere act of his removal from the prison of Strasburgh. The judges agreed that the proceeding was a violation of the law, but declared, nevertheless, that considerations of great political moment have rendered the measure neces sary, and that, consequently, they had no right to interfere in the matter. They accordingly abstained from making any allusion thereto in their judgment. It is not yet known whether the trial will take place in Strasburgh or Colmar. It will come on in January, unless the accused appeal to the Court of Cassation from this decision of the Chamber of Accusation, on the plea that the accomplices of a crime cannot be tried when the principal accused has been taken out of the hands of justice by an administrative decision. It was stated that Marshal Lobau was to resign the command in chief of the National Guard of Paris. It was said that the age of the Marshal, his long services, and his wounds, made it imperative on him to take that determinaL' tion. The inforination we have obtained enables us to an nounce positively that Murshal Lobau will remain at the head of that corps, which he organized and commanded during several years, and is so much indebted to the supe rior experience of its chief.—ilioniteur. The same official Journal publishes the following notice : The Director of the Museum of Natural History re quests us to inform the public, that the ouran-outang, being ill, is not visible at this moment." The communications of our Toulon correspondent, and the observations we made upon the improbability of the disaster alleged to have befallen our army before Constan tine, receive confirmation this day by the arrival of the Toulon newspapers. The Eclaireur de la Mediterranec, which was the first to publish the bad news, collected from the accounts of a few sailors, has almost entirely retracted the alarming intelligence. " We are induced to hope," observes that Journal, " that these reports are false, because there has not been any communication between our army and Bona, and because no despatch from Marshal Clausel has been received, Perhaps," it adds, " the difficulties which our troops have encountered have been occasioned rather by the rains which, contrary to expectation, prevailed, than by resistance offered by the tribes to their march." The evening Ministerial Journal does not make the slightest allusion to the affairs of Constantina.—Courrier Francais. (From the French Papers of Saturday.) The Journal des Debuts announces that the Minister of Finance has fixed a duty of sf. a-head on all large dogs, quitting France along the frontier from Dunkirk to Rousses. The object of this measure is to repress the contraband trade, carried on to a great extent in that quarter by means of dogs. Some of the newspapers have stated that the health of the Countess de Lipona is much improved. The object of this announcement is doubtless to prepare the public mind for the intelligence of her departure from France. Certain it is that she has received an intimation to quit France, and in the course of ten or twelve days she must leave for Italy. —Courrier Francais. M. de Mayendorff, Chamberlain and Councillor of the Emperor of Russia, who has for some years past resided in Prance, and who paid a visit to Normandy this year, has suddenly left for St. Petersburgh.—Courrier Francais. The Journal du Commerce publishes the following : " The Austrian Ambassador yesterday had an interview with the Spanish Ambassador and the Charge d'Affaires of Hanover, at the office of the Minister for Foreign Affairs. It is said, that the Austrian Ambassador made a communication in the names of the family of Charles X. It is presumed that it related only to the testamentary dispositions of the late King, and to money matters. The two parti es rema i ne d toget h er on ly just time enough to sign a protocol. M. Campuzano was, it is said, the bearer of a new demand for the occupation of the Basque Pro vinces by a corps of '20,000 French troops, to act only in disarming the rebels. This occupation is said to have been concerted between the Ministers of Austria and England. As to the Hanoverian Minister, the eternal Hollando-Bel gic question is said to have furnished a new memorandum, to which the Cabinet of the Hague had uselessly called at tention, and which it re-produced yesterday as an uliinza tum. It appears that the policy of King Leopold is less in accordance with that of the Tuileries than the tics of re lationship and good neighbourhood require ; since this me morandum has become, between France and Holland, a subject of discussion which seriously affects the interests of our commerce, without producing any advantage to Bel gium." - The Breton (of Nantes), contains a narrative of a most appalling and extraordinary scene, which occurred on the Gth instant, at the barracks in the town of Vannes, at pre sent occupied by the .56th regiment of the Line. It ap pears that the sub-lieutenants of the regiment am in the habit of taking their meals together in a private room at the canteen. On the unfortunate occasion alluded to, all of them were seated at breakfast, when one of the party, a M. Severac, who generally lived on bad terms with his bro ther officers, suddenly jumped from his place, seized his sabre, which lay in a corner of the room, and at tacked his defenceless comrades with inconceivable fury, wounding three of them dangerously, three mortally, and several others more or less severely. The first three— having with great difficulty crawled from the apartment, to require the assistance of the Guard—the madman, driven to desperation by the sight of his remaining comrades weltering in their blood, drew a small pistol from his pocket, and, placing the muzzle in his mouth, at tempted to blow out his brains. The ball, however, passed throught the lower jaw, and lodged in the roof of his mouth. So determined was the wretched man upon committing suicide, that, finding the work of self-destruction unac complished by his first attempt, he seized a knife, and plunged it into his abdomen. The wound thus inflicted not having instantly deprived him of life, he endeavoured to throw himself on the point of his sword, which bent un der the weight of his body. At this moment the adjutant of the regiment rushed into the apartment, accompanied by the guard, and the former having struck Severac with the flat of his sabre on the wrist, the assassin dropped his weapon, and was immediately secured. He was then taken to the hospital with three of his victims. The officers wounded are eight in number, exclusive of the frantic per petrator of the horrible acts which we have detailed. Five are expected to recover, though in all probability they will be maimed for the remainder of their lives. No hope of saving the rest is entertained. From the judicial investigations which have been commenced into this horrible event, it appeared that Severac laboured under the idea that he was a victim to injustice, and particularly from the major of the regiment, whom it seems he even intended to assassinate on the very day on which the horrible scene at the canteen took place. The unfortunate man was married about a year ago, and had one child, with whom his wife was to have joined him in a few days. SPAIN. ST. SEBASTIAN, DEC. 4.—To-day a meeting of the bri gadier-generals, colonels of regiments, and other heads of departments, was held at the quarters of General Evans, to take into consideration the very precarious position in which the Legion seems to b 3 at present placed, according to the tenor of a letter received from General Godfrey, giving the result of an interview which he had with M. Mendizabal at Ma Irid. The substance of that letter, or at least what is generally reported to be its substance, is, that the reception of General Godfrey by M. Mendizabal was cold and dis couraging, and his discussion of the topic in question, the payment of the arrears of the Legion, that of a man tired, and anxious to get rid of the subject, and that he concluded by expressing his surprise at the enormity of the demand, the more particularly, he added, as lie had reason to believe that sufficient money had been issued by. the Government to satisfy all the claims of the Legion up to a very recent period. This startling declaration in the face of the unde niable fact of all the officers of the Legion, with very few, if any, exceptions, having now 7 months pay due to them,argues either " something rotten" in the good faith of the Government, or the most extraordinarypowers of absorption in some of the agents employed by that Government in the financial de partment of the Legion. What were the propositions made by General Evans under this extraordinary state of things at the meeting of his principal officers, or their opinions thereon, have not transpired, as all those present pledged their words not to disclose what had taken place. However, one thing is certain, that no positive or definitive resolution was come to at this meeting ; but, as the subject involved so many and so serious consequences, both with regard to the honour and the interests of the Legion, General Evens re commended those present still to give the matter mature consideration in the privacy of their own closets, and to favour him, with as little delay as possible, with their well considered and definite resolutions in writing. That various, if not conflicting opinions, must have been put forward at the meeting, there can be little doubt, as the discussion lasted from one o'clock till half-past four in the afternoon. The anxiety to learn the result of the meeting, not only amongst the officers of the Legion, but the better classes of the inhabitants of the town, was most intense, and during the whole of the day various groups, both of military and civilians, filled the plazas and streets, warmly discussing the circumstances, or speculating upon the resolution likely to be come to by the meeting at the Lieutenant-Gene ra l' s . Bitter, consequently, was the disappointment felt on its be coming public that nothing could be known of what had taken place, at least for the present. In consequence of the departure of Brigadier-General Chichester, who is gone to pass a month or six weeks with his family at Bordeaux, the three brigades of the Legion have been formed into a division, under the command of General Fitzgerald, and Colonels O'Connell, Churchill, and Kirby have been appointed to the command of the brigades until further orders. The James Watt steamer, which arrived here two days ago from Santander, brought from the latter place, on their way from Madrid to Paris and London, Generals O'Leary and Soublette, commissioners and diplomatic agents from the Venezuelan Government to the Court of Madrid. The Marchioness de Toreno, on her way to France to rejoin her husband, was also a passenger on board the James Watt. PORTUGAL. DECREE OF THE QUEEN, GRANTING AN AMNESTY TO ALL CONCERNED IN THE OCCURRENCES OF THE 4TH AND STII NOVEMBER. (From the Diarin do Governo of 29th November.) Taking into' consideration that the public tranquillity, which was lately disturbed in a few districts of the Minho and of Tras-os-Montes, on occasion of the political events which occurred in this capital on the 4th and sth of No vember, is completely re-established in the whole kingdom, and that all citizens have returned to the legitimate obedi ence to the laws ; and being desirous to draw closer the bonds of union, peace, and harmony among the Portuguese family, so that it may identify itself in the only solicitude of giving an efficacious and uniform impulse to the cause of liberty, as the basis and most secure foundation of social existence and prosperity ; and that these objects may meet with no obstruction in by-gone differences, which arose merely from a diversity of opinions on the best organisation of the representative system, I think proper, after hearing the Council of Ministers, to decree as follows : Art. 1. No citizen shall be persecuted, imprisoned, or tried on account of the political events which took place in Lisbon on the 4th and sth of the current month of No• vember, or which occurred subsequently at any other point of the kingdom, in consequence of those events. Art. 2. Those who, from the occurrences mentioned in the preceding article, happen to be confined, provided their imprisonment be not owing to any other motive, shall be set at liberty. Art. 3. The public authority shall, by endeavourinc , to re-establish confidence among the citizens, uphold the legal guarantees, without neglecting to watch incessantly over the public security and tranquillity, and shall deliver up to the rigour of the laws all those who shall hereafter outrage the established order. ' Art. 4. All ordinances contrary to the above are null and void. The Secretary of State for the affairs of the kingdom shall so understand and cause it to be carried into effect.

The Chamber of Representatives has teminated to-day the general debate, and commenced that r j f the articles of the project of law, relative to bounties to be given for th e building of ships. It d ec id e d th a t a b o unty of 30 francs shall be given on shins from 100 to 500 tons burden per ton, measuring metre, cubic mr•asure, when the vessel is copper bottomed, and with copper nails, and of 24 francs, when this l as t con di t i on is not, c omplied with. Th e Com m ttee proposed to place steam-boats on the same foot as sailing vessels. The Government wished that the bounty on steam-boats should be 361. or 40f., according as they were copper-bottomed or not. The Chamber agreed that a bounty should be allowed on them, but there were not enough members present to fix the amount. BitussEr.s, DEc. 9.—The Count de Montfort (Jerome Bonaparte) left Brussels this morning, with his son, for Germany. The Chamber of Representatives passed to-day the law for *renting bounties on ship-building. The Chamber then adopted the project of I;,w for a 'cite of credit to the house of Yates and Co. The debate on the budget of ways and means will ccm mence on Monday next ; the report. is printed, and has been distributed to the members some days. BELGIAN I CNDS—BRUSSELS, DEC. 10.

The aged seraskier, Cherrea Pacha is allowed, on his reiterated requests, to retire on a pensiou of 60,000 piastres (6,000 florins) per month. He retains his title of Naziri Dewlik, and will he consulted on important 'occasions. Halil Refeeat Pacha, the Sultan's son-in-law, and adopted son of Cherrea Pacha, is Seraskier, or Commander-in-Chief; and Ahmed Feuze Pacha, High- Admiral (or Captain Pacha), in the room of Tahir Pacha, who is placed at the head of the Artillery. The Russian brig Achilles sailed on the 10th, for the Mediterranean. The late changes, though they have not precisely a poli tical tendency, arc more favourable to Russian views than to any other. The members of the Russian Legation have all received presents from the Government. General Butenieff has 44,000 florins. The plague continues to rage : last week it carried off 5,000 persons. The Austrian Internuncio has received from his Government permission to have always a corvette stationed in the Bosphorus at his disposal. AMERICA.— UNITED STATES. LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY.—The packet ship St. Andr•elu arrived here to-day, after a remarkably quick passage of 16 days, bringing papers to the 25th ult. The bustle and anxiety consequent upon the contest for the Presidential chair throughout the United States had to a considerable extent subsided, although the result will not be officially made known for some time to come. Enough, however, is ascertained to place the election of Mr. Van Buren, as the successor of General Jackson, be yond a doubt. He is elected by a majority of the electo toral colleges ; so that the election for President will not devolve upon Congress, as was generally anticipated. This fact is admitted, though reluctantly, by the papers most determinately opposed to him. The latest intelligence from Washington, represents General Jackson as having been seriously ill. On the even ing of the 22d ult. lie was seized with a violent cough, to which succeeded bleeding of the lungs. The hemorrhage from the lungs was stopped by the application of the neces s3ry remedies, but he remained weak, and his medical at tendants considered him at one period in imminent danger. He is now, however, stated to be improving. LOSS OF THE SHIP BRISTOL. A most distressing event is narrated in the New York papers—the loss of the Bristol, which sailed from this port (Liverpool) on the 15th of October, bound for New York, with a cargo of dry goods, and having on board about eighty passengers, the greater part of them emigrants from Ireland and the agricultural districts of England. The. following details of this distressing calamity are taken from the Courier and Enquirer of the 23d November :—" After a prospe rous voyage the Bristol made the Highland lights, bearing N.N.W., at a quarter beforo eight o'clock last Sunday evening, and at half-past ten she was rounded too, with lights hoisted for a pilot. At one o'clock Captain M'Keon ordered the ship brought to the wind, then blowing fresh from the south-east, and stood off shore under her three top sails, fore and main spencer, and jib. At a quarter before four on Monday morning she brought up on Rockaway Shoals, five miles west of the Pavilion, it being extremely dark and thick. The shock was so light that it occasioned but little alarm on board. The wind now gradually increased till it blew a gale, and the sea breaking violently over the vessel, her officers advised the passengers to go below, as a place of greater safety. About an hour afterwards, a tremendous wave struck her, sweeping boats, bulwarks, and every thing moveable from the deck, carrying away the hatches which had been secured down, and in an instant filling the ship with water. Of eighty-two steerage passengers, who were all below at the time, scarce a quarter of them, and those were close to the hatchway, had time to reach the deck, the rest all perished, without a moan' from them being heard. The survivors lashed themselves to the rigging, the railing around the masts, and every spot which afforded them a. shelter from the raging sea. At daylight the mainmast was cut away by the crew, in hopes that the ship would he easier, and at least hold together, till the crew and remain ing passengers could be saved. From the shore, about a quarter of a mile distant, the wreck had been seen at break of day, but the surf ran too high to afford her any assistance. Towards noon, it being low water, the surf had naturally subsided, and a boat manned ley four men put off from the beach and succeeded in reaching the ship. This boat was able to make the trip twice, and brought safely on, shore all the females and chil dren that were alive. The surf then again became so high that no further assistance could be given until the follow ing midnight ; in the mean time the ship broke in two, and shortly after the foremast went by the board, carrying with it Mr. Donnelly and the two Mr. Carltons, and several others who were lashed to it.. Mr. Burstall had also se cured himself to this spar, but caught one of the bob stays as he was falling, and by that reached the bowsprit, from which he was rescued by the boat. The mizen mast was shortly after carried away, but those who were clinging to it had time to leave it and fasten themselves to the taffrail, where, with those lashed to the weather quarter, they remained till relieved, the sea all the while breaking over them. On shore all supposed that not a soul remained alive on the wreck, broken up as it was. Some faint sounds of cries of distress,, however, occasionally reached them through the bellowin.gs of the storm, and at midnight, the surf having again subsided, the boat once more ventured to the ship, from. which, in three or four trips, she brought on shore all who now live to tell this sad story of disaster. For seven miles the beach is strewed with fragments of the wr ec k. L ast n i ght a b out twenty bodies had drifted ashore, which had been interred by order of the coroner, who remained in the vicinity. In the pockets of one of them seventy sovereigns were found, and are now in posses sion of the coroner. We would, however, it were in our power to add that the property of others were also respected. From the great length of the beach on which the bodies are washed, it is impossible to keep any guard, and consequently the corpses are immediately stripped of every thing valuable about them. The beach i s fill e d w ith waggons coming from a distance of twenty o r thi r ty m iles, and the peopl e w h o came in them are watching like cormorants for their prey. Our reporter, in riding along, saw a body come ashore, and the first thing on which these harpies placed their hands were the pockets. The names of the cabin passengers are —Mrs. Hogan, widow of the late Michael Hogan, E sq ., of this city, and her daughters, Mrs. Donnelly and Mi ss H ogan , an d the husband of the former, whose fato we have already men tioned. Two Mr. Charltons of Bristol, England, who like wise perished, and Mr. Burstall. The number of steerage passengers saved cannot be ex actly ascertained, as many of them wandered away in diffe rent directions as soon as they landed. Captain M' .eon estimates, however, the number who have perished at be tween sixty and seventy. The follovving, are the names of all the steerage passen gers, who, it is positively known, are drowned :—Mrs. An drews, see, andthree daughters ; - Mrs. Whit e an d f am ily ; Mr. B ra h am and Shields ; Mr. Bailiff ; M r . B ur k e an d sister ; Mrs. Lacy ; Mr. Graham and nephew ; Mr. Wise ; Mrs. Measly and cnild ; Mrs. Mackaumow t; three girls, and one boy. These papers state that the banks had come forward libe rally to assist. merchants who required it, and the distribu tion 'of the surplus revenue among the different States, which is to take place in the early part of January, had given co nfidence, and a fresh impetus to business. The bills of exchange offered for this packet being insufficient for the demand, the rates continue to advance. The trans actions on England for cash were at 81. to 91- per cent. ; on France, sf. Qt . :C., sf. 22 , c. ; on H a rnburgh, - 35-;1 per cent. -__ The Countess of Harewood has, according to her Ladyship's Invariable practice at this period of the year, distributed a quantity of blankets, coals, &e., to the poor of twelve towns and villages in the vicinity of Harewood Hall, Yorkshire. Mr. Barton, the inventor of the celebrated patent metallic piston, bad a long interview on Saturday with the Lords of the Admiralty, respecting a pump of very inge niousintended c hi e fl y f or t h e use o f s hip s at sea, itcboenisntsruction, upon a self-acting principle, and superseding manual labour. It drew forth their Lordships' warmest approbation. LITERARY NEWS.—Mr. Hall and Mr. Coiburn, who have conduct e d th e " N ew M ont hly Magazine" since the secession of Mr. Bulwer, have, it seems, with the view of placing this Magazine beyond all rivalry, again deter mined to elect an editorial chief. The post has been offered to, and accepted by, Mr. Theodore Hook, their most dis tinguished contributor. The numerous patrons of this fa vourite Journal may, we think, expect a large increase of attraction by this accession of editorial power, for few; can boast so large a number of talented friends as the witty author-of " Sayings and Doings.'
